    Hello everyone. I am unsure how many cars to book for the day.
    One car for me and my dad
    One car for my mum and bridesmaids
    One car for groom and best man
    What about ushers? Do they get ready with the best man and need a car too?

    I don't think Ushers need a car. I've never been to a wedding where they required one but I am not sure to be honest as my OH and I aren't needing to hire any as everything is all on the one site for us.

    Ushers will generally make their own way to the venue early, to help with last minute setting up and to be ready to welcome guests. The groom and best man don't always have a car, but it depends on how far they have to travel on the morning. My H2B and his best men will walk up to the church, and the ushers will meet them there. I've hired a wedding car for myself and my dad, which will then take my H2B and I to the reception. I'm planning on just getting a taxi for mum and bridesmaids, as cars are so expensive and it's only a ten/fifteen minute drive. The reception venue is walking distance from the church so everyone can make their own way there.

    So glad to find this been wondering this myself for a while! I was thinking of just 2 cars one for me and one for H2B and mum and bridesmaids will get a taxi that I will book, but wasn't sure if I should leave them to get a taxi or not as I will feel cruel! They will only have a 5 minute drive from my mums house to the church though so I am sure they wouldn't mind.

    I'm only having a car for me, my mum (in place of my dad) and my daughter. My BMS are sharing a car to venue, as are groom and ushers.

    Our car took bridesmaids and mum to church then came back for me and dad and then took me and hubby to the venue. Sometimes they charge for time rather than distance but others don't

    We have 2 cars they will be picking h2b & groomsmen up 1st, then coming back for the bridesmaids & myself. Our venue is only minutes from where we're getting ready so obviously if your further away that might not be an option.

    We aren't having any cars I'm staying at the venue the night before the wedding, H2b is staying at home with our son and his best man he will drive our car on the morning of the wedding (it's one way of me knowing he won't be smashed the night before if he needs to drive).

    If I wasn't staying at the venue the night before that is about an hour away I would have cars for, oh his best man and our son who is page boy. A car for me and my dad and then another car for my bridesmaid and my mum. I would rather spend the night at the venue than spend £1000s on cars x

    We only had 2 cars, for me and dad and mum, bridesmaids and grandmother on way to church, then after ceremony the main car was for me and hubby to reception venue and 2nd car took mum, grandmother, dad and bridesmaids to reception. Hubby, best man and ushers made their own way to the church.

    We have only booked one car. It will take my mum, youngest boy and bridesmaids to the church first then come back for me and my dad. It will then take me and my h2b to the venue after the ceremony. The bridesmaids will go to the venue with their families. My h2b, best man and ushers will make their own way to the church.
